White Chateauneuf-du-Pape represents only a tiny fraction of the appellation`s production, making it something special. The Brunel family blends traditional varieties including Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, fermented and aged in a mix of oak and stainless steel. The 2022 vintage delivers ripe fruit with excellent freshness and balance. This is serious white wine, not just a novelty. White peach, apricot and honeyed notes with orange blossom, almond and subtle oak spice. Full bodied with creamy texture and bright acidity keeping everything balanced. There`s weight and richness here but not heaviness. Layers of stone fruit, citrus peel and mineral complexity. Long, textured finish with lingering floral notes. Serve cool (10-12°C), not ice cold. This has the body and complexity to pair with lobster, roast poultry, creamy risotto, or rich fish dishes. Drinking well now but white Chateauneuf ages beautifully, developing honeyed, waxy complexity over 10-15 years.
